Blog Candy - harder than you think!

If you have seen my cards you know I am a fan of digital and vintage. I love to layer papers, stitch my cards, add glitter, paint and ink. I love to stamp to create a distressed, old, worn look.

I do, however, love the look of clean and simple too. And often I will ooh and aahh over a card and tell myself that the card is beautiful but pretty easy to make. HA!! Big mistake! I want right here and right now to APOLOGIZE to all card makers out there that have dedicated their lives to stamping the perfect image. I found out that it is harder than I thought. I am very sorry for thinking that it was easy. It is an Art to do what you ladies do out there!! See end of post for a few of my favorites..

And if you, my fellow blog reader, think the above cards are worth anything, then leave me a comment and enter to have a chance on winning the cards above. The lucky winner will be picked on July 27th.

What is this Blog all about?

I began scrapbooking in 2003 and card making in 2007. In just these short years I have seen the amount of NEW embellishments and other things that have flooded the Scrapbooking world. 20 years ago when I made collages in my teenager diaries and journals, I remember using whatever I had. I found myself slave to the new trends and all the new released papers, latest ribbons, buttons and any other doodads that we use on our layouts. Until one day, I realized once again that this hobby is about being creative and letting my personality, thoughts, emotions, believes spill over into my creations. So I began a revolution of using what I have. In this blog I want to share with you some of the things and techniques I found out that freed me to create again like there is no tomorrow. LOL
